Pediatric hearing loss can pose a variety of challenges to all members of the family. Often the children and parents feel alone in what they are going through. House Ear Institute's Family Camp helps address these feelings by presenting a safe, relaxing setting for both kids and parents to relax and share what they’re going through with others who have similar experiences. It also is a place for families to gain new insights and resources, as well as a sense of personal development and achievement. |
| The program fosters friendship, builds communication skills and presents opportunities for personal growth and achievement. For much of the weekend, parents take part in workshops that offer insights, and support to help their child’s development, while trained counselors and presenters supervise a variety of summer camp activities for the kids and an onsite nursery for infants and toddlers. In addition, a variety of parent-child activities and family relaxation times are provided. All camp services, staffing, accommodations and meals are included in the reservation fee. A limited number of “camperships” are available for families who require and qualify for financial assistance to attend. There are also volunteer counselor opportunities for pre-qualified individuals who are at least 18 years of age. More information is available by calling the House Ear Institute at (213) 483-4431 or sending an email to info@hei.org. Please note that all camper and counselor registration forms must be received by Friday, May 27, 2011. |
